Streptomyces sp. So13.3 Genome sequencing and assembly

Genomic date from Antartic bacteria is necessary to undercover the interconnected role of secondary metabolites and cold-adaptation mechanisms. Additionally, cold-adapted bacteria have unique chemically complex biosynthetic pathways. Therefore, unexplored pristine and extreme environments, such as Antarctic, are attractive source for the search of novel secondary metabolites. This project aims to study Antarctic bacteria as source for secondary metabolites and describe its role on evolutionary adaptation to cold environments by whole genome sequencing and analysis of Antarctic strains.
